When I run gdmsetup, or edit gdm.conf by hand, and then reboot (or switch user) my login screen remains the plain, standard, login screen.
This isn't, by any means, a "show stopper," but it seems strange.
Here's my current gdm.conf:
Code:

Anyone have any idea why it seems to be being ignored?
(I'm fairly sure this is not relevant, but, FYI, I have patched my kernel to include the latest nVidia driver, the NTFS support, and the ALSA support.)
